ABSTRACT
This paper considers a heterogeneous network of energy constrained sensors deployed over a region. Each
Normal sensor node in a network is systematically gathering and transmitting sensed data to the clusterhead, and then cluster head sending data to a base station (via intermediate cluster- heads). This paper
focuses on reducing the energy consumption and hence improving lifetime of wireless sensor Networks.
Clustering sensor node is an effective topology for the energy constrained networks. So energy saving
algorithm has been developed in which clusters are formed considering a subset of high energy nodes as a
cluster-head and another subset of powerful nodes is ask to go to sleep. When Cluster heads deplete their
energy another subset of nodes becomes active and acts as a cluster head. Proposed approach is
implemented in MATLAB, Simulation results shows that it can prolong the network lifetime than LEACH
protocol, and achieves better performance than the existing clustering algorithms such as LEACH.

1. INTRODUCTION
A wireless sensor networks (WSN) is a network of small devices called as sensor nodes deployed
over a geographical area for monitoring physical phenomena like seismic events, vibrations,
temperature, humidity and so on [1]. Typically, a sensor node is a small/tiny device which has
three basic components: sensing subsystem, processing subsystem and wireless communication
subsystem. A sensing subsystem for sensing data from the physical surrounding environment, a
processing subsystem for processing data and storage, and a wireless communication subsystem
for data transmission. It also has a power source often consists of a battery which has limited
energy budget and it is inconvenient or impractical to recharge the battery or nodes may be
deployed in an environment where human being cannot reach. For example, in underwater
scenario, there is no plugin socket to provide power as per requirement.
Military applications motivated the development of wireless sensor network. However, Now in
many application areas including environment, Hospitals, agriculture, habitat monitoring etc.
wireless sensor networks are used, due to various limitations arising from their inexpensive
nature, weight, limited size, and ad hoc method of deployment; To prolong the lifetime of the
network it is necessary to find energy efficient route setup and reliable transmission of data from
the sensor nodes to the base station or sink [2]. To improve the performance of the sensor network
application, it is necessary to improve the lifetime of network and it can be possible by saving
energy of nodes. In some cases it is possible to gather energy from the external environment [3].

However, external power supply sources often show an interrupted behavior so that an energy
buffer is needed as well. Energy is a very limited resource and must be used properly. Therefore,
energy conservation is a fundamental issue in the design of systems based on wireless sensor
networks.
The remainder of the paper is organized as follows. In Section II, review of literature is discussed.
Section III describes Mathematical Model. Section IV describes Proposed Approach. In Section
V simulation Results are discussed. Finally, Section VI gives concluding remarks and future
scope.
2. RELATED WORK
2.1 Leach
Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) protocol [4] has proposed by W. R.
Heinzelman, A. P. Chandrakasan and H. Balakrishnan. It is one of the most popular hierarchical
routing algorithms for sensor networks. The idea is to form clusters of the sensor nodes based on
the received signal strength and use local cluster heads as routers to the sink. This reduces energy
consumption since the transmissions will only be done by such cluster heads rather than all sensor
nodes. Minimum number of cluster heads (CHs) is estimated to be 5% of the total number of
nodes. All the data processing such as data fusion and aggregation are local to the cluster. Cluster
heads change randomly over time in order to balance the energy depletion of nodes. The working
of LEACH is divided into two phases: Set up Phase and steady state phase. Each round starts with
a set-up (clustering) phase, where clusters are formed, followed by a steady-state (transmission)
phase in which data packets are transferred from normal nodes to cluster heads. After data
aggregation, cluster heads will transmit the aggregated data to the Base Station.
2.1.1 Disadvantages
Homogeneous distribution of sensor nodes is assumed.
LEACH is not applicable in large regions.
Distribution of the CH nodes in the network is not uniformed.
2.2 PEGASIS Protocol
S. Lindsey and C. Raghavendra [5] have proposed Power Efficient Gathering in Sensor
Information Systems (PEGASIS) protocol. It is an improved version of LEACH. Rather than
forming clusters, it forms chains of sensor nodes. Single node is responsible for transferring the
aggregated data to the base station. Each node aggregates the collected data with its own data, and
then passes the aggregated data to the next ring. PEGASIS is different from LEACH because it
employ multi hop transmission and select only one node to transmit the data to the sink or base
station. Since it eliminates the overhead caused by dynamic cluster formation, multi hop
transmission and data aggregation is employed; PEGASIS achieves better performance than
LEACH. However for distant nodes excessive delay is introduced, especially for large networks
and single leader can be a bottleneck.
2.3 TEEN Protocol
Threshold sensitive Energy Efficient sensor Network Protocol (TEEN) [6] has proposed by A.
Manjeshwar and D. P. Agarwal. In this protocol clusters are formed considering the nearer nodes,
with a cluster heads to transmit the collected data to one upper layer. After forming the clusters,
34
International Journal of Wireless & Mobile Networks (IJWMN) Vol. 6, No. 5, October 2014
cluster heads broadcast two threshold values. First one is hard threshold; it is minimum possible
value of an attribute to trigger a sensor node. Hard threshold allows nodes transmit the event, if
the event occurs in the range of interest. Therefore a significant reduction of the transmission
delay occurs. Unless a change of minimum soft threshold occurs, the nodes don’t send a new data
packet. Employing soft threshold prevents from the redundant data transmission. Since the
protocol is to be responsive to the sudden changes in the sensed attribute, it is suitable for timecritical applications. They have also proposed Adaptive Threshold sensitive Energy Efficient
sensor Network Protocol (APTEEN) protocol [7]. The protocol is an extension of TEEN aiming
to capture both time-critical events and periodic data collections. The network architecture is
same as TEEN. After forming clusters the cluster heads broadcast attributes, the threshold values,
and the transmission schedule to all nodes. Cluster heads are also responsible for data aggregation
in order to decrease the size data transmitted so energy consumed. According to energy
dissipation and network lifetime, TEEN gives better performance than LEACH and APTEEN
because of the decreased number of transmissions. The main drawbacks of TEEN and APTEEN
are overhead and complexity of forming clusters in multiple levels, implementing threshold-based
functions and dealing with attribute based naming of queries.
2.4 SEP Protocol
Stable Election Protocol (SEP) protocol [8] has proposed by G. Smaragdakis, I. Matta and A.
Bestavros. This protocol is an extension to the LEACH protocol. It is a heterogeneous aware
protocol which is based on weighted election probabilities of each node to become cluster head
according to their respective energy. SEP ensures that the cluster head election is randomly
selected and distributed based on the fraction of energy of each node considering a uniform use of
the nodes energy. In SEP, two types of nodes i.e. two tier in-clustering and two level hierarchies
were considered.
2.5 DEEC Protocol
Distributed Energy Efficient Clustering Protocol (DEEC) [9] has proposed by Q. Li, Z. Qingxin
and W. Mingwen. This protocol is a cluster based scheme for two level and multi level energy
heterogeneous wireless sensor networks. This scheme, selects cluster heads using the probability
based on the ratio between residual energy of each node and the average energy of the network.
The epochs are different according to their initial and residual energy of being cluster-heads for
nodes. The chance of the becoming cluster heads depends on nodes initial and residual energy,
the nodes with high initial and residual energy have more chances than the nodes with low
energy.
2.6 HEED Protocol
Hybrid Energy Efficient Distributed clustering Protocol (HEED) [10] has proposed by O. Younis
and S. Fahmy. The basic scheme of LEACH is extended by HEED using residual energy as
primary parameter and network topology features for e.g. node degree, distances to neighbours
etc. are used as a secondary parameters to break tie between candidate cluster heads, as a metric
for cluster selection to achieve power balancing[13]. The process of clustering is divided into a
number of iterations, and in each iterations, nodes which are not covered by any cluster head
shows their probability of becoming a cluster head. Since these energy-efficient clustering
protocols enable every node to independently and probabilistically decide on its role in the
clustered network, they cannot guarantee minimum elected set of cluster heads [12, 13].

2.7 EEICCP Protocol
Shalli Rani et.al has proposed Energy Efficient inter cluster coordination Protocol [11] for the
wireless sensor networks, It is a cluster based algorithm in which different levels of clusters are
considered on the basis of received signal strength to recognize the distance of the clusters from
the BS (base station) and to determine the number of cluster coordinators to make routes for the
CHs to transmit the data. The protocol depends upon the fact that some cluster head sends data
directly to the base station (Single hop) and the some send by multi hop transmission, but energy
consumption in conventional protocols increases due to multi path fading channel which affects
the network life time. An attempt has been made to reduce this power loss in to free space model
that is d2. The arrangements of the nodes has been done in this way that one cluster always, is
very close to the base station i.e. in line of sight propagation and that cluster will have head nodes
sufficient for all the below clusters which will forward the data of all those clusters. Layers of
clusters have been so there is always one cluster coordinator for every lowest cluster. The division
of clusters is done from top to bottom.
EEICCP protocol works by starting the election phase in which the cluster heads are elected
according to the distance based on RSS. Number of clusters is fixed so as the cluster heads and the
cluster coordinators after election of cluster coordinators by the CHs, a cluster id is assigned to
each cluster head and the cluster coordinator. This id is transmitted by each cluster to their nodes
by the advertisement message. And cluster co-coordinators also pass their own ids. After that the
transmission phase begins in which data is transferred to the cluster head and that data is passed
to the base station with the help of CCOs. In first round the data is collected by the CH of that
cluster which has data to send, then in the other iterations the data is passed to the base station
with the help of cluster co-coordinators.
EEICCP outperforms conventional protocols that send data directly to the BS through their
respective CHs. Dividing the network into layers of clusters has been proved to be a good
approach in reducing the energy to a great extent. Each node has the equal responsibility of
receiving data from all other nodes in the cluster and to transmit the aggregating signal to the base
station. Simulations show that EEICCP reduces start energy 151 times than both HCR and
LEACH, energy of one iteration by 0.2926 × 104 times than HCR and 0.3169 × 10 4 times than
LEACH. Thus total energy reduction is 43% than HCR and 50% than LEACH.
3. MATHEMATICAL MODEL
Many of the research protocols have used the first order radio model as described in [5]. Energy is
dissipated while transmitting and receiving the data and energy consumption for the short
distance is d2 when propagation is in line of sight and d4 for the long distance due to multipath
fading propagation [1].
Transmission energy and receiving energy are calculated as follows:
lEelect + lEfsd2 , d < do
ETx (l,d)=
lEelect + lEmpd4 , d > do
ERx ( L) = Eelect L
36
International Journal of Wireless & Mobile Networks (IJWMN) Vol. 6, No. 5, October 2014
Where d is a difference between transmitter and receiver. And L is a the length of the message in
bits,
d0 = √Efs/Emp
In proposed approach, two types of sensor nodes, i.e., the High Energy nodes (powerful nodes)
and normal nodes are considered. Let us assume that there are ‘N’ numbers of sensor nodes
deployed in an area, where the initial energy of the normal nodes is assumed to be E0, and m is the
percentage of powerful nodes, which own a times more energy than the normal ones. Thus (m *
N) powerful nodes are equipped with initial energy of (Eo *(1+α)), and ((1-m) *N) normal nodes
are equipped with initial energy of E0. The total initial energy of the network is given by:
Etotal = N · (1 − m) · Eo + N · m · Eo · (1 + α)
= N · Eo · (1 + α · m)
So, by using heterogeneous network the total energy of the system is increased by a factor of (1+α
·m).
4. PROPOSED APPROACH
According to the proposed approach a heterogeneous network with the sensor nodes having
different energy levels and processing power is assumed. Some high Energy nodes (Powerful
nodes/Higher nodes) having a times more energy than the normal nodes are deployed in the
network. A Subset of Powerful node from the set of higher nodes is selected as a CH based on the
fact that they should not be in a communication range of each other. Another subset of higher
nodes is asked to go to sleep. The subset of Powerful node which is chosen as a CH broadcast its
presence to all normal sensor nodes and starts receiving data from the sensors which are members
of their cluster. Normal sensor decides to which cluster they want to belong based on the signal
from the broadcast. It is assumed that the stronger the signal, the closer the head is and therefore
the head with strongest signal are chosen. All the cluster members send the sensed data to the CH.
The CH will send the aggregated data to the Base Station directly or by using some intermediate
CH.
When the energy of the CH reaches to zero, another subset of nodes would act as a Cluster Head.
This information about the new CH will be sent to all normal nodes and the same process is
repeated. The network will be stable or dead when the energy of all cluster heads becomes zero.
4.1 Algorithm
The algorithm is divided into two phases
4.1.1 Selection Phase
Step1: Select a Subset of high energy node as cluster head.
Step2: Cluster Head broadcast a hello message to all normal sensor nodes and starts receiving
data from the sensors that have decided to become a cluster member.
Step3: If the Cluster Head energy is depleted completely or reaches to the threshold value i.e.
zero, then high energy nodes of another subset will act as Cluster Head & Repeat step 2.
In selection phase a subset of high energy node is selected as a cluster head and other subset of
node is asked to go to sleep. The cluster head sends an advertisement message to the normal
sensor nodes and the nodes send acknowledge message to the cluster head. Normal sensors decide
37
International Journal of Wireless & Mobile Networks (IJWMN) Vol. 6, No. 5, October 2014
to which cluster they wish to belong based on the distance of node from cluster head. Cluster head
collects data from all the members of their cluster and send it to base station. When the energy of
cluster head becomes zero then other subset of high energy node will acts as a cluster head as
same process is repeated.
4.1.2 Data Transfer Phase
Step1: The cluster members send the data to the cluster head.
Step2: Cluster Head will collect the data from all the members of their cluster.
Step3: Cluster Head will transmit the aggregated data to base station through the cluster heads
nearer to it.
Transmission begins from the depth first CH which goes to the Cluster head of the next higher
level cluster and so on as shown in Figure 1 which is finally sent to the BS by the CH of the last
cluster nearest to the BS. In this way the distance travelled is decreased, and energy is saved
because more energy is require to send data to the base station ,if it is located far away from it.
4.2 Algorithm for Data Transmission
1. Set k=0, n=1
2. Set j= number of clusters – k
3. Repeat while j>=1
4. If j! =1 then
Cluster [j-1][n]=cluster[j][n]
Else
Base station=cluster[j][n] .
End of if structure
5. [Decrement] set j= j-1
Go to step 2
6. End of Step 3 loop

Figure 2 shows the deployment of nodes in the network, Blue colour nodes are normal nodes
which are deployed randomly and the nodes shown in red colour are high energetic nodes which
are deployed by using deterministic approach. The network of N nodes is considered from which
m percent of nodes are high energetic nodes and remaining nodes are normal nodes, Therefore the
high energetic nodes would be m*N and normal nodes would be (1-m)*N. For example if we
consider the network of 50 nodes i.e. N= 50 and 12% of high energetic nodes i.e. m=0.12 then
normal nodes would be (1-0.12)*50=44 and high energetic nodes would be 0.12*50=6.
Base station is located far away from the nodes, as shown in Figure 2. It is located at (50,130). All
cluster heads handover their aggregated data to base station for processing and decision making
therefore deployment of base station is very important in wireless sensor network

Figure 3. Cluster Formation Considering the First Subset of Nodes as a cluster Head
These cluster head will decide their communication range and form clusters by considering the
normal nodes as a cluster members which are in the communication range of that cluster head.
Initially round starts from cluster head 1, it will collect data from the members of their cluster and
41
International Journal of Wireless & Mobile Networks (IJWMN) Vol. 6, No. 5, October 2014
send it to cluster head which is nearer to it i.e. cluster head 4, then cluster head 4 will transfer it
to cluster head 5 and finally cluster head 5 will send it to base station.
Similarly second cluster head i.e. cluster head 4 collect data from all cluster member and send it
to base station, then in next round cluster head 5 will send gathered data to base station directly.
The same process is repeated for number of rounds.
As shown in figure 4, when the energy of cluster heads becomes zero a other subset of higher
nodes becomes active and will act as a cluster head and the same process is repeated till the
energy of all cluster head becomes zero.

Figure 5. illustrates the detailed view of the behavior of proposed Approach; Graph shows the
number of alive nodes per round where number of rounds are shown on x axis and no of nodes on
y axis . In this case 10000 rounds and 50 nodes are considered. It is observed that 50 nodes
remains in network for 1000 rounds and the death of first node occurs after 1000 rounds.
As the numbers of rounds are increases the number of alive nodes decreases and at round 5806
network become dead because energy of all cluster head becomes zero. Here the cluster heads
which are nearer to base station depleted their energy faster than other cluster heads because
along with their own data it has to send data of other cluster heads.
Figure 6. illustrates a detailed view of the behaviour of proposed approach and LEACH protocol;
it shows the number of alive nodes per round. The number of nodes die in Proposed Approach is
much less than LEACH Protocol over the same number of rounds.

Figure 6. Comparative graphs of Proposed Approach and LEACH Protocol
In proposed Approach death of first node occurs much later than the death of first node in case of
LEACH Protocol, and the network works for more number of rounds i.e. 5806 whereas in
LEACH it works for only 4938 rounds. From this it can be say that proposed approach prolongs
lifetime and shows better performance than LEACH protocol.
6. CONCLUSION
In this paper, a new approach for energy saving and hence prolonging network lifetime in the
wireless sensor network has proposed. Algorithms for cluster head selection and data
Transmission in wireless sensor network are proposed and implemented. From the simulation
results we can say that proposed approach increase network overall energy, saves energy,
prolongs lifetime and shows higher performance than LEACH protocol. But the drawback of
proposed approach is that when all cluster head dies the network become stable (dead), therefore
all sensor nodes are not utililized. Due to this the network does not work till the death of last
node.
In future, we planned to design a new approach which will overcome this drawback, and all
sensor nodes would be utilized & network will work until the death of last node.
